The AWP-300 capacitance Wave Height Gauge from Akamina Technologies combines the accuracy and reliability of the AWP-24 gauge with a CAN Bus digital interface. This makes the AWP-300 ideally suited for wave height measurements and integration with active wave absorption systems.
The digital CAN Bus interface eliminates many issues common in analogue data acquisition systems, such as noise and grounding issues over long cables. The CAN Bus interface also simplifies cabling as up to 30 AWP-300s can be connected in a daisy-chain fashion to the same cable.
- no electrical interference with other probes or instrumentation
- measures capacitance digitally with no energy discharge into the water
- highly linear (0.15% over the measurement range)
- fast response time (a new sample is availabe every 5 ms.)
- low power consumption
- highly responsive measure of depth changes from sub-millimeter to meters
- guaranteed linearity and accuracy over wide range of water and ambient temperatures
- less frequent calibrations required due to temperature stable electronics and probe head
- can be used in both fresh water and salt water
- rugged, die-cast aluminum, weatherproof enclosure
- monitor waves in 3-D hydraulic models, wave flumes, towing tanks
- measure multidirectional waves and water surface geometry
- wave height feedback for active wave absorption systems
- indoors or outdoor measurements in fresh or salt water
- anywhere where high accuracy and ease of use are important
Digital CAN Bus interface for direct connection to digital data acquistion systems- configure and start measuring with the click of a mouse
-
Daisy-chain up to 30 units together on a single cable
- Easy setup and configuration using WaveGen-Studio, Akamina's data acquisition system
- low power consumption (6 mA while measuring and up to 20 mA while transmitting)
The AWP-300-3 combines temperature stable electronics and a high quality Wave Probe Head. This results in extremely small calibration slope changes over temperature, making frequent calibrations redundant.
